The Governor s Proclamation 



Governor Charles W. Bryan, at the suggestion of Margaret Badol- 
let Caldwell Shotwell, Book Editor of the Omaha Daily News, issued 
the following proclamation setting aside the week of October 22nd to 
29th, inclusive, as Nebraska Authors’ Week: 

TO THE PEOPLE OF NEBRASKA 
The culture of a people is expressed by its authors, who, by the 
magic of the written word record their aspirations and achievements 
and inspire humanity to greater spiritual growth and development. 

The state of Nebraska, as well as the nation, owes a debt of grati¬ 
tude to its writers who immortalize the character molding of mankind. 

Therefore, I, Charles W. Bryan, governor of Nebraska, wishing to 
give our schools, our press, our churches, our libraries and our cul¬ 
tural clubs an opportunity to show our gratitude and loyalty to our 
older writers of international renown and to encourage our younger 
writers to greater literary excellence, do designate and set aside the 
week of October 22 to 29th to be known as NEBRASKA AUTHORS’ 
WEEK. 

Witness my hand and the great seal of the state of Nebraska, this 27th 
day of August, A. D., 1923. 

CHARLES W. BRYAN, Governor.

The chief glory of a people lies in its authors for, “the pen is 
mightier than the sword, ’ ’ and * ‘ the words of man outlive his days. ’ ’ 

The middle west is fast proving itself to be the source of the new 
realism in literature, and has become the birthplace of literary inspira¬ 
tion and ideals during the past five years. 

The New England States held supremacy during America’s first 
literary cycle and produced the prize winning poetry, plays and books. 
Then came the war and an upheaval of ideas and ideals ensued. Actual 
life and the experiences of living superseded the imaginative written 
word, realism stalked abroad and literary stagnation settled down upon 
our country. 

Now in our middle western prairies we have a new birth of litera¬ 
ture, and realistic prize winning novels are the result. Willa Cather, 
of Red Cloud, Nebraska, won the Pulitzer Prize for the year of 1922 


[PAGE FIVE] 



for her novel, “One of Ours.” John G. Neihardt, who was made Poet 
Laureate of Nebraska, on April 18, 1921, won the Poetry Society Prize 
in 1919 with his American Epic Poem, “The Song of Three Friends,” 
and Harvey E. Newbranch won the Pulitzer Editorial Prize for 1919. 
Roscoe Pound of Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1923, was chosen as one of the 
judges for the Edward Bok Peace Prize. 

Nebraska has over 300 authors, who, although not prize winners, 
are doing work of a great value to the literary world and 
during Nebraska Authors’ Week their books were displayed in the 
libraries and book stores of the state. 

The week opened on the evening of October 22nd with a program 
over the WOAW Radio. Nebraska Authors read from their writings 
and the pupils of Miss Mary Munchhoff sang songs composed by Ne¬ 
braska musicians. A Nebraska Authors’ dinner was given by the Omaha 
Daily News at the Commercial Club on Saturday evening, October 27th, 
for eighty-six authors. Souvenir copies of “Raw Material,” by Dorothy 
Canfield Fisher, whose father was at one time Chancellor of the Univer¬ 
sity of Nebraska, were sent by Harcourt Brace & Company. 

Appleton, Doran, Doubleday & Scribner’s sent souvenir copies of 
“American Nights Entertainment,” by Grant Overton, which they 
published jointly. 

Harpers sent the story of the “House of Harper” in pamphlet 
form and the Century Company sent “The Centurion” and “Sketches 
of Johan Bojer and Frederick O’Brien.” Interesting booklets sent 
by Scribners were “Theodore Roosevelt,” “The Man and His Books,” 
“Meredith Nicholson,” and “An American Man of Letters.” Matthews 
Book Store presented copies of the poem, “For You—A Dream,” by 
Anna Clyde Porter, and Henry Kieser’s Pioneer Book Store gave min¬ 
iature Bibles. The Omaha Daily News gave beautifully illustrated 
copies of Congressman W. G. Sears’ poem, “To a Tree.” 

A Nebraska Authors’ Club was launched with George C. Shedd 
acting president and Margaret Badollet Shotwell secretary. Dr. Hart¬ 
ley Burr Alexander, Keene Abbott and Mary Learned were named a 
committee to form the constitution and by-laws for the organization. 

Impromptu talks enlivened the occasion and, ‘ ‘ a good time was had 
by all.”

HENRY F. KIESER 


NEBRASKA AUTHORS’ WEEK focused attention of Nebraska 
people not only to the literature produced by our own authors, but 
also to our libraries, our book stores, and in the literary features of 
our newspapers. The history of Nebraska authors is so intimately 
connected with the history of our state and its progress, that the atten¬ 
tion given to Authors’ Week has created renewed interest in the early 
history and development of Nebraska. Nebraska has been well repre¬ 
sented by its authors from time to time, and has established within its 
borders some splendid libraries. I need mention but a few, the State 
University Library at Lincoln, presided over by Mr. Malcolm Wyer, 
containing many thousands of valuable volumes, the Public Library of 
Omaha, at whose helm Miss Edith Tobitt has stood so long, the City 
Library of Lincoln, along with other municipal libraries in the state. 
While many of our universities and colleges are housing splendid libra¬ 
ries, it is only a question of time when some of these libraries will gain 
national attention, and I am sure that one in particular, the library 
of the College of Medicine of the University of Nebraska, in Omaha, 
which is receiving the special attention of Dr. Cutter, will be one of 
them. As to booksellers I shall very briefly enumerate a few of the 
firms and individuals who have stood prominently as representative 


[PAGE ELEVEN] 



dealers in Omaha, and in this connection we must also mention Mr. 
Pat O’Mahony, recently deceased, for a great many years prominently 
identified as a dealer in Lincoln. 

It is a coincidence that those who are identified with book¬ 
selling in Omaha have been connected with the profession so long 
that we almost forget their predecessors. Among the very first book 
dealers in Omaha was Mr. J. I. Fruehauf, located at Ninth and Farnam 
streets, then moving to the Karbach building at Fifteenth and 
Howard streets, later into the new Sehlitz building at Sixteenth 
and Harney streets. Also James S. Caulfield, located at 1306 Farnam, 
and R. & J. Wilbur, at 513 Fourteenth street, and E. Wyman at 118 
South Fifteenth street, and W. T. Seaman, 1104 Farnam street, and H. 
Schonfeld, who at a very early date opened up an antiquarian book 
shop at 117 South Fifteenth street. A little later period finds the 
Megeath Stationery Co., successor of James S. Caulfield Co., while 
several others who were handling books gradually dropped this end of 
their business, and for a number of years the Megeath Stationery Co. 
was the representative book store of Omaha, while Mr. Schonfeld had 
the antiquarian store, along with the firm of Crane-Foy Company, who 
established themselves in the old book business on North Sixteenth 
street, where the Loyal Hotel now stands. 

In the subscription book business, Omaha has also been fortunate 
in that Mr. W. A. Hixenbaugh has for a period of over thirty years 
conducted this branch of book selling, and has made it possible for 
thousands of folks to own fine books, especially sets, and acquire them 
on easy terms. He has established a concern not only doing business 
in Omaha, but reaching from coast to coast, employing men in all parts 
of the United States. Few people in Omaha may know of the large 
volume of business done by Mr. Hixenbaugh in books, and books only. 

The booksellers that you now know in Omaha were identified with 
some of the earlier concerns. Mrs. Matthews has been connected 
with bookselling in Omaha for so long a period, in fact as far back as 
I can go, and I never dared to ask her just how many years previous to 
the time that my memory runs she began to sell books in Omaha, hut I 
very well remember her in the Megeath Stationery Company, 1304 Far¬ 
nam street, where she presided over the Book Department for a great 
many years, until she established, with Mr. Matthews, the Matthews 


[ PAGE TWELVE] 



Book Store at Fifteenth and Douglas streets. The Megeath Stationery 
Company finally withdrew from bookselling altogether, making Mrs. 
Matthews the book store of Omaha. All who have dealt with Mrs. 
Matthews, and all who know her, can only express themselves as having 
met a woman thoroughly familiar with literature and the demands of 
the city for new books. The department stores did not enter into the 
bookselling field seriously until the Bennett Company erected their 
new structure at Sixteenth and Harney streets, and the Brandeis Stores 
moved into their new building across the street from where they had 
been located, and again we find a character affiliated with the depart¬ 
ment store bookselling who came at its inception, and still is with us, 
Mr. W. A. Holland of the Brandeis Stores. Mr. Holland has in a con¬ 
sistent manner established a book section which compares favorably 
with any in the west. Mr. Holland was brought up on books from boy¬ 
hood in Chicago, and has never been able to get away from them, and 
that reminds me that probably it is the lure and fascination of book 
selling which has kept some of us at this task, rather than the profit 
that there is in the business, for if the same amount of T>rain and phy¬ 
sical energy were expended, along with the investment required in 
other lines, it would produce wealth. Speaking from exper¬ 
ience, the profession of bookselling does not produce wealth. 
However, a bookseller performs a real service to the community, and 
whether this he finally acknowledged or not, it remains a fact they 
perform a function in a city that cannot he measured by dollars and 
cents. It is therefore pleasing to know that the newspapers of Omaha, 
and also of the state, are giving the book stores publicity because of this 
function, and because of our service to the community, publicity, which, 
in itself the average book store could not afford to buy in the regular 
way. In this connection I am more than pleased with the literary 
page of the Omaha Daily News, as conducted by Mrs. Margaret Badollet 
Shotwell. I have at different times suggested to some of our editors that 
I believed the time was ripe for our newspapers to conduct an original 
literary page, embodying not only book reviews, but items of interest 
and news connected with book selling, book buying and book collect¬ 
ing, as well as of literary folks and their doings. The page conducted 
by Mrs. Shotwell has measured up to these ideas, and today is receiving 
attention not only locally, but by newspaper men and publishers 


[PAGE THIRTEEN] 



throughout the United States. I am hoping that these ideas, in a meas¬ 
ure, will be adopted by our other newspapers. 

Omaha is still a young western city, and has before it tremendous 
possibilities in a literary way. It has within its borders some very fine 
private libraries, and some collectors who are nationally known for 
their choice books. While the tendency on the part of many families 
is to get away from the family bookshelf, their space being limited, or 
their time taken up with other matters, and doing their book reading 
in a serial way from newspapers and magazines, nevertheless the value 
of the book shelf in the home cannot be estimated. 

Now to get down to the Nebraska Authors’ Week program, which 
culminated in the christening of my store as “The Pioneer Book Store,” 
I must explain that when Mr. J. I. Pruehauf passed away, I, along 
with Mr. B. G. Bilz, purchased this business and conducted the same for 
some years, when I disposed of the* same to the Omaha Stationery 
Company, who now confine themselves to stationery and office sup¬ 
plies. It seems that I could not get away from book selling, and one 
day when in the Bennett store, was told that Mr. J. B. Baum wanted 
to see me, and upon seeing Mr. Baum arrangement was made whereby 
I was to become manager of the book and stationery department of 
the Bennett Company. It is here that I spent seven years full of in¬ 
terest, selling many thousands of volumes each year, and making a 
number of Nebraska authors rejoice because of the thousands of their 
books that were disposed of in this store. Among these I might men¬ 
tion Mr. Richard Metcalf, Mr. Alexander Corkey, Miss Grace Sorenson 
and others. I believe that the sale of Mr. Corkey’s book, “The Victory 
of Allan Rutledge,” will stand as the record sale of any one book in 
the city, as we disposed of 3,500 copies of the same in the Bennett Co. 
book section within one year. Dr. Corkey was in the book section of 
the Bennett Co. one day, very much agitated over Harold Bell Wright’s 
“The Calling of Dan Matthews.” I suggested that he write an answer 
to the same in the form of another story. To my surprise, in less than 
three weeks he walked in one day with the manuscript under his arm. 
I told him that I would look it over that night. He was living in Cedar 
Bluffs at the time. I wired a publisher the next morning, who an¬ 
swered immediately that he was leaving for Omaha. I called Dr. Cor¬ 
key over the telephone and had him in Omaha on the morning of the 


[PAGE FOURTEEN] 



arrival of the New York publisher. Within an hour the contracts were 
signed and Dr. Corkey had an advance royalty check in his pocket 
for $1,500. The book sold big all over the country, climbing up to 
350,000 copies. Mr. A. L. Sehantz, the general manager of the Bennett 
Company, was a loyal supporter of the book department, and as fine a 
manager to work for as one could wish, and it is a pleasure to know 
that he remained in the city, becoming president of the State Bank of 
Omaha and making it the largest state bank in the state of Nebraska, 
and in the west. Mr. D. A. Baum, one of the Bennett Company pro¬ 
prietors, was always keenly interested in the book department and 
saw to it that he was present when any packages containing choice 
items were opened, and here I cannot forget to mention Patrick Mc¬ 
Nulty, who in spite of his Irish brogue was in this department all the 
time that I managed it, and remained after I left for a time, and he, 
among the few, succeeded in breaking away from books and now sells 
such dry things as men’s collars and shirts and other haberdashery, 
at Browning-King’s. 

After leaving the Bennett Company, I established a book store 
in the basement of the Y. M. C. A. building, dealing in nothing but new 
books. The business opened up very satisfactorily, but having handled 
some old books in the Bennett store, and always feeling attracted to the 
old book stores whenever I was in the East, it was but a few years until 
I began to change from the new hooks to the old, and in 1917 made 
the fearful leap from Seventeenth and Harney streets to the Loyal 
Hotel building, Sixteenth and Capitol avenue. Mr. Tom Quinlan, 
manager of the Brandeis Stores, insisted that I make this leap, and 
along with the insistency of my good architectural friend, Gaudius 
Simard, we located in this splendid building. Mr. Crane was still in 
the old book business in the next block north. He was a congenial 
competitor, and we were always on the best of terms until his death. 
The store as you see it now represents hard work and long hours, and 
a tremendous outlay of energy in bringing together the books rep¬ 
resenting all branches of literature, rare volumes, fine bindings, 
Americana, foreign languages, and books on every subject, arranged 
so that they are accessible and can be quickly found by anyone desiring 
to see them. It has been my desire that Omaha might boast of a large 
antiquarian book shop which would attract other book collectors as 


[PAGE FIFTEEN! 



they travelled through the city, and have items of interest from time 
to time for all book lovers. This has been realized, and while the store 
is of such a nature and of such a volume that a turnover of the same 
is a conjecture, yet it is a fact that a store of this kind is partly \a 
business institution, but largely of a professional nature, and therefore 
cannot be measured by the dividends it pays in dollars and cents, but 
rather must be measured as an asset to the community, and as I said 
before, such is its function. I purchase the books from folks that are 
moving, families that are breaking up, or where death has called to 
the great beyond the one who held his books as a treasure. I have 
sold books for a number of years to persons who were very intimate 
and had very large libraries. I have been called into these same homes 
after they have departed to bring back that which once was mine, 
with but this one consolation, as Mr. Hoe, who disposed of the largest 
private library in the history of the world, decreed, that they should 
be sold to those who loved them best, so it is that the young collector 
and the rising generation have the opportunity in my shop to acquire 
from time to time some of the treasures of those who preceded them, 
and some of the books which fascinated and told the tales and trials 
of those who pioneered in the west, and in other fields. So when the 
poets came to the store on the evening of October 29th to christen 
“Kieser’s Book Store” as ‘‘The Pioneer Book Store,” it was a most 
gracious act on their part and appreciated by myself, not only by 
reason of the fact that I succeeded that old pioneer bookseller, J. I. 
Fruehauf, but we are looked upon by those in the East, as being inti¬ 
mately connected with the branch of American literature which is so 
fascinating to many collectors, the history and story of the Great 
West, as related in the thousands of volumes which have appeared 
upon this subject, I embody in this little volume the story of the 
christening of the book store and the musings of the poets as they 
began to express themselves amongst the spirits of the great poets 
of the past and the quickening throbs of the spirits of those great 
minds of the past, silent listeners to the utterances of these prairie 
poets. In spite of the first snow storm of the season the poets came 
on that night, and by their order, their Vice-President, Mr. Howard 
Biggar, nailed on the door the christening sign, “The Pioneer Book 


[PAGE SIXTEEN] 



Store,” and along with the barrel of cider and Ortman’s doughnuts, 
it was made a memorial occasion in the history of Kieser’s book store. 



[PAGE SEVENTEEN] 









THE OLD BOOKSTORE 

An old book store whose shelves are filled 
With volumes that have soothed and thrilled, 

Whose very doors bespeak the past. 

Whose very walls are overcast 
With memories of a yester year— 

The schooner and the pioneer, 

The cow boy and the buffalo, 

The prairie and the broad divide— 

Tonight we enter with appall, 

Tonight we reverance, one and all, 

And feel, as here we congregate 
That ruler, grand, or potentate 
Might well be proud to enter in 
To this act of christening, 

And drink with us a mental wine 
Dregged from these shelves of song divine, 

Found in the tales of ancient lore 
And wit, in Kieser’s old book store. 

—Mrs. Jack Burton.

Henry Kieser, saviour of 
Blessed books that fellows love; 
Foster father of the great, 

Goodly things that fools berate, 
Here we come to say hello, 
Clasping hands so you may know 
How we love this trait in you— 
Giving books a rendezvous. 

Weary have we wandered in 
From the money-changer’s din 
Restfully in quietude, 

Some like heaven. Let us sit 
Feeling so refined in it. 

All our browsing you allow— 
Henry Kieser, bless you now. 

How did orphaned volumes fare 
Ere you came to give them care? 
Henry Kieser, they did lie 
In the rubbish heaps to die. 

Oft, we know, a bonfire grew 
From the books that people threw 
Swift away—But you, kind sage, 
Built the books an orphanage. 

Here have books on nobleness 
For our eager hands to press, 

For our souls to feed upon 
Any night from, dusk to dawn. 
Henry Kieser, let us stay 
Whiling all the hours away. 

In a place like this we are 
Lifted up soulfully. 


—George R. Harrison. 


[PAGE TWENTY] 



Here’s to the crooks 
That wrote the books 
Which are found in the nooks 
Where everyone looks 
In Henry Kieser’s Bookshop. 

May the readers increase, 

May their zeal never cease 
Until they find peace 
And have a long lease 
In Henry Kieser’s Bookshop. 

This is the bunch 
That came to the lunch, 

And I have a hunch 
We’re all going to munch 
In Henry Kieser’s Bookshop. 

This is the night, 

All snowy and white, 

When we came with delight 
To do the thing right 
In Henry Kieser’s Bookshop. 

The books stood in rows, 

As everyone knows, 

And this photograph shows, 

Both lasses and beaux 
In Henry Kieser’s Bookshop. 

This is the narration 
Of the dedication, 

Where with elation 
We laid the foundation 
Of Henry Kieser’s Bookshop. 

By all the poets present. 


[PAGE TWENTY-ONE] 



A toast to our friend, Henry Kieser, 
A genial and versatile geezer. 

It’s a pleasure to stop 
In his Pioneer Bookshop 
Whenever we poets have leisure.
